Recently, on 25 March 2010, Sony Ericsson expanded its line of ‘Xperia’ containing Xperia X1 and Xperia X2 series by adding the much anticipated ‘Xperia X10‘. Code named ‘Rachael’ and previously rumored to be named the ‘X3′ or ‘X5′, the X10 takes a step out of the contemporary by introducing the latest OS for mobile phones, the ‘Android’ launched by Google. This is the first Android device by Sony Ericsson. The phone had quite a hype following it preceding its release and once again, Sony Ericsson has managed to live up to its expectations.
The Xperia X10 relies completely on its huge 4-inch WVGA capacitive
touchscreen (480 X 854 pixels) for operating the phone. Three hardware
buttons are provided; A menu button, A home button and a ‘Back’ button.
The phone has a volume rocker on the side along with the camera button.
On the top, you’ll find a standard 3.5 mm jack, a micro-USB port for
charging and data-transfer and a power button which also works as the
lock-screen button. The body fits snugly into your palm.
The phone is currently shipped with Android version 1.6, but an upgrade to version 2.1 is promised in the second half of 2010. Frankly, users won’t be missing out on much as the huge amount of specs the phone has to offer pretty much makes up for it. The android OS is easy to operate, boasting of a lot of features and a market to download more apps (currently the market contains around 40,000 apps as compared to apple’s whopping 140,000). The apps range from various kinds of games to tools (like the very useful bar-code scanner) to weather forecasts or merely daily updates to your favorite comic; both free and paid.
Sony has made certain modifications to the OS, mainly by the
introduction of Timescape™ and Mediascape™. The Timescape feature
arranges all your communication history (facebook, twitter, messaging,
email, call log) under a single menu, providing ease of access. The
Mediascape is the latest media player software delivering easy access to all your videos, music and photographs.
Another great addition is the ‘Infinity’ button, which lets you
access all the information related to a particular contact in Timescape
or Artist in Mediascape.
The phone consists of a mammoth 8.1 megapixel camera with a single LED which has to be manually turned on and doesn’t function like a flash (a new feature called ‘Photolight’). Frankly, they could have done a better job by offering a xenon flash to do justice to the huge camera. But this drawback is compensated by the addition of features like ‘Face Detection’ ( Upto 5 faces can be detected and identified by the camera) and ‘Smile Detection’. The camera automatically stores the photographs under the respective contact. Video quality is also very good with various settings at hand.
One major drawback of this handset is the lack of multi-touch. But
to be honest, it doesn’t seem like much of a setback as the phone is
loaded with a lot of other amazing features
